Coloured TEM of foot & mouth disease viruses
Foot & mouth disease virus. Coloured Transmission Electron Micrograph (TEM) of a group of viruses that cause foot and mouth disease. The disease occurs in cattle, horses, and more rarely humans. The small viruses (22 nanometres in diameter) belong to the Rhinovirus genus of viruses (which includes many common cold viruses affecting humans). It is an RNA virus, with a protein coat of icosahedral symmetry. Foot and mouth disease in humans leads to fever, headache, and a burning sensation in the mouth. Sores develop on the lips, tongue, palms of the hand and soles of the feet. Recovery occurs in weeks. Magnification: x40, 000 at 6x4.5cm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a coloured Transmission Electron Micrograph (TEM) of foot and mouth disease viruses. These minuscule viruses, measuring only 22 nanometres in diameter, belong to the Rhinovirus genus, which also includes several common cold viruses affecting humans. The intricate image reveals their protein coat with icosahedral symmetry, highlighting their unique structure. Foot and mouth disease is a highly contagious illness that primarily affects cattle and horses but can rarely impact humans as well. In humans, this viral infection manifests as fever, headache, and an intense burning sensation in the mouth. Painful sores develop on the lips, tongue, palms of the hand, and soles of the feet. However distressing it may be for those affected by this disease, recovery typically occurs within weeks. The magnification level used to capture this image was an impressive x40,000 at a size of 6x4.5cm. Science Photo Library has expertly captured both the scientific significance and aesthetic appeal of these foot and mouth disease viruses through this stunning photograph print.
